Abstract (en)

Disclosed is a shifter for use with a vehicle transmission, which comprises a shift lever (2) having a base end, a holder section (4) which holds the base end of the shift lever (2) rotatably in first and second directions perpendicular to each other, a follower shaft (3) coupled to the base end of the shift lever (2), and a shift-cable connection member (5) formed with a slot-shaped shaft insertion hole (51a) and swingably held by the holder section (4). The shift-cable connection member (5) is adapted to be connectable with a selected one of a shift cable connected to an automatic transmission and a shift cable connected to a manual transmission. In the shifter, the follower shaft (3) is formed to have a distal end connectable with a selection cable connected to the manual transmission, and inserted into the shaft insertion hole (51a) to allow the distal end to protrude from the shaft insertion hole (51a), in such a manner that the follower shaft (3) is swingingly moved in conjunction with a tilt movement of the shift lever (2) in the first direction to press an inner surface of the shift-cable connection member (5) defining the shaft insertion hole (51a) so as to swingingly move the shift-cable connection member (5), and moved inside and along the shaft insertion hole (51a) in conjunction with a tilt movement of the shift lever (2) in the second direction.
